Newcastle United fans have heaped praise upon Isaac Hayden after the 27-year-old tweeted his affirmation and love for the club following Monday's 2-0 win over Arsenal.
An own goal and a strike from Bruno Guimaraes saw Eddie Howe's side claim a final home game win of the season as the Magpies went out on a high at St James' Park.
As is tradition for the final home game of the season, the players and coaches take a lap of appreciation around the pitch. One of the players on the pitch after the 2-0 win was midfielder Isaac Hayden, who has missed the second half of the season due to injury.

He was not named in Howe's 25-man squad in January, but is looked upon fondly by Newcastle fans who appreciate the energy, fight and commitment the midfielder has shown during his six years on Tyneside.
In a tweet posted the evening after Newcastle's impressive 2-0 win, Hayden said: "What a football club, the future is bright and will be a pleasure to watch it in whatever capacity that is."
