Shay Given has hailed Newcastle United supporters following the 3-0 destruction of Leicester City. Goals from Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton ensured a comfortable return to Premier League action for the Magpies.
Astonishingly, victory lifted Newcastle up to second in the division, just four points off Arsenal in top spot. The prospect of Champions League football is becoming a real possibility should Newcastle continue their rich vein of form.
While many supporters will remember United competing in Europe’s top competition in the late 90s and early 00s, few can recall Newcastle winning silverware. Not since 1955 has a domestic trophy returned to Tyneside.
