‘Complete lack of common sense’ – Some NUFC fans react to injury blow ahead of Man Utd clash
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson picked up a thigh injury against Southampton last weekend and it appears that the striker could be sidelined for a number of weeks as per Shields Gazette. Since joining the club from Bournemouth for a fee of around £20 million last summer, Wilson has been a key player for Newcastle and his absence will be a devastating blow for Steve Bruce and his side. The Magpies are desperately lacking in goals and Wilson has been a star performer for them. He scored 12 goals for them in the Premier League last season. Bruce failed to bring in adequate cover upfront during the summer transfer window and the decision could prove to be costly for Newcastle. Wilson struggled with hamstring problems last season and signing another striker as a backup option should have...
Newcastle boost survival hopes after hitting four past Leicester
Newcastle gave their Premier League survival hopes a huge boost after hammering Leicester 4-2 at the King Power Stadium. Newcastle deservedly opened the scoring when Joe Willock pound on an error from Caglar Söyüncü before finishing smartly past Kasper Schmeichel.

Paul Dummett rose highest to double their lead with a powerful header, before Callum Wilson made it three after finishing a clinical counter attack. Wilson added his second – and Newcastle’s fourth – having been played through brilliantly by Miguel Almirón, slotting home when his initial effort hit the post. Marc Albrighton rifled one into the top corner late on, with Kelechi Iheanacho continuing his h...

Alex Iwobi in action as Everton bow to Newcastle United
Alex Iwobi was on parade as Everton lost 2-0 to Newcastle United in Saturday’s Premier League game at Goodison Park.

Iwobi gave a good account of himself in the encounter but his effort was not enough to help his side avoid their sixth defeat of the season. The game started with both sides striving to outwit each other but despite their efforts, the first half ended without goals. After the re...
