MAN OF THE MATCH - CALLUM WILSON
It was an inspired second half display from the Magpies' centre forward. What they missed so much last term was an out-and-out-striker and they've found their man in Wilson.
There wasn't a great deal of attacking play from the hosts but when they did go forward they looked a threat.
It's six goals (and two braces) for the season for the former Bournemouth man.

ROY KEANE ROCKING THE BOAT PRE-MATCH
"Newcastle haven't been exciting for years. Even when they were exciting they never won anything so I don't know why we're getting excited about that. Bruce's remit was to steady the ship. They'll be mid-table."
LAST WEEK'S HERO KEEPS SPOT FOR HOSTS
After working hard to get his chance in the eleven, Jacob Murphy is awarded his second start in a row following his all important equaliser at Wolves.
Steve Bruce has described the 25-year-old as "doing everything he possibly could to get in the team" since arriving back from a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday.
In more surprising news, skipper Jamaal Lascelles has been declared fit after being a doubt in the week leading up.
