End of 2nd Half
NEWCASTLE 3-0 SHEFFIELD UNITED
The Blades are among the hardest teams to beat in the league but once they lost John Egan it was always an uphill struggle.
Steve Bruce's side took advantage with a flurry of goals from Saint-Maximin, Ritchie and Joelinton - yes Joelinton.
Their best performance of the season and no one was there to see it!

GOAL! Joelinton finally has it!
A long awaited Premier League goal. The relief is palpable.
He starts the move by finding Almiron in the left who plays a wonderful ball back to give the Brazilian a tap in.

Saint-Maximin is the only player this season to score against the Blades home and away. A collector's item for the Frenchman.
No more breaks now, we're on the home straight.

Drinks break.
Chris Wilder in amongst it again as he tries to rescue something for his side.
Newcastle are 24 minutes away from mid-table safety.
