Newcastle ended their three-game losing streak this afternoon with a 1-0 win over Brentford at home with the winner coming from Wilson with a penalty after 64 minutes.
While it certainly wasn’t pretty, the result in this game was more important than the performance, and our lads stuck to it to get our second win of the season.
Newcastle did not look good at all in the first half – but it was much better in the second, and this win will give our boys confidence going forward.
And 9 minutes of added time at the end was a little nerve-racking.
Indeed, in qn earlier game today, Spurs were losing 1-0 at home to Sheffield United before they scored two goals in the 20 minutes of added time to win 2-1 – what’s going on here?
We now have 6 points from 5 games – the same number of points as last season after 5 games.
And here is the photo we get with every win – the lads look very pleased!
🙂
Here are the video highlights of the game today from NBC Sports.
And in detail here is the penalty award that gave Newcastle all 3 points – dare I say this looks like a soft penalty for us?
But Callum has nerves of steel and it was an excellent penalty, under so much pressure.
And on merit Newcastle did deserve the points, but we were nowhere near our best.
Let us know who you think our Man of the Match was.

Comment #2897“Since the start of last season, only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have scored more Premier League goals than Newcastle striker Callum Wilson.
The most underrated striker in the Premier League?”
Fair play to Wilson he in some company there

Comment #2900Records….
Home:
In 1946 the Magpies defeated Newport County 13-0 at SJP (old second division at the time – so championship if translated to the modern era)
In the PL era it was of course the 8-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday in 1999.
Away:
Today is our biggest ever away win of all time in any competion in any era.
It is also the first time we have ever had 8 different scorers in a game (home or away)

Comment #2906Suffice to say I think the Mackems are taking worse than Sheff Utd fans are. But I will check in on how Sheff Utd fans are coping in a bit.

Comment #2907For the miserable T.O.F who doesn’t really get football.
Started three games in eight days – running over 10km each game.
Played 90 minutes at the San Siro.
Opened the scoring at Bramall Lane.
99% pass completion rate.

Comment #2911Very quiet on the blog after such a thumping win.
Perhaps this isn’t the right time to call for Mourinho to bring his dull, outdated, defensive football to Newcastle.
Ah well, there will be chances in future, but not many, as Howe doesn’t lose very often.

An all round woeful team. We spent so much but somehow the first 11 is barely improved.
Very poor recruitment this summer and it’s showing.
Sheffield United 1 Newcastle 0.
Absolutely loving it. 😀
