WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of Newcastle United's trip to Swansea City. Team news is on the way.

Thank you for joining us today.

Stay tuned to Eurosport for all the reaction to today's game.

And that's full-time!

Lascelles is thrilled and pumps the air. He celebrates with his team-mates but he was the inspiration today, a wonderful performance.

A massive win for Newcastle with Swansea failing to create much except for Abraham's effort that was cleared by Lascelles.

Oh my word that's a woeful delivery. Genuinely awful. It doesn't even clear the first man.

£16.5 million Sam Clucas cost.

Ayew wins a fouls off Manquillo down the left-hand side. Clucas will take, which seems unwise, and surely Swansea have to send everyone in?

Chance for Narsingh as he shoots from a tight angle. It's an easy save for Elliot and he smothers the loose ball from the corner.

We're going to have five minutes of added time. Swansea have another corner.

And it's woeful from Clucas as he hits it over everyone and it goes out.

Mawson is down at the moment so we have a break, that might lead to slightly more added time.

He's having to go off for a tiny bit of treatment but he'll be back on.

Gayle gets booked for stopping a free-kick and from it Swansea win a corner with Fer then heading over.

It's as if Clement is reading the blog. On comes Narsingh.

Merino spends some time on the floor for no reason in particular.

Ritchie curls in a free-kick and Bony is back defending to clear behind for a Newcastle corner.

Swansea are flustered and they're rushing pretty much everything they do at the moment.

It's easy for Newcastle to sit back and pick them off. Perhaps the pace of Narsingh or Routledge could change the game?

Fer goes into the book for a challenge on Atsu.

Newcastle fans chanting the name of their manager who of course isn't there today.

Aggressive substitution from Newcastle as Joselu comes off for Gayle.

And the captain has given Newcastle the lead. He beats Mawson in the air and powers home a header from a corner from Ritchie.

What a crucial interception after blocking Abraham's effort earlier.

Couple of chances for Joselu but both attempts are comfortable for Fabianski.

Newcastle desperately trying to keep a hold on the ball and they create a good chance as Perez breaks free into the box, with Fabianski doing well to save.

And Sanches is off. There's warm applause but ultimately he was pretty disappointing. The volume cranks up as Bony comes on.

Newcastle send on Diame for Hayden.

Newcastle are the ones under pressure at the moment as Perez squares the ball across goal but there's no-one to try and get on the end of it.

The crowd are making it clear they want to see Bony on the pitch and a roar goes up as he strips off and starts receiving instructions.
