Match report

If the penalty was questionable, the result was fair. Newcastle showed so much intent from the start, with both their passing and their pressing. “They’re playing that well, they don’t have to worry about relegation,” says Jamie Carragher. “They look like a mid-table Premier League club.” As compliments go, that may be an understatement: in the table since New Year’s Day, Newcastle are now fifth, between the two Manchester clubs, with seven wins from 12 games.

Our match report is in, from Louise Taylor at St James’ Park, so that’s it from me. Thanks for your company, correspondence and shrewd suggestions for rule changes. See you tomorrow for a spot of Clockwatch.
