A blistering start to the game saw them take a commanding 5-0 lead at the break, inspired by terrific playmaking from forgotten man Roberto Firminho who bagged a hat-trick of assists in that opening half. He got on the scoresheet in the second, a just reward for his virtuoso performance, and deservedly won the man of the match award.
Newcastle have had their twists and turns this season. They have nevertheless proved incredibly tough to beat as they remain undefeated coming into this round (1W, 3D). The Magpies looked to be heading to their first loss of the season at the weekend, trailing Wolves 1-0 after 90 minutes but exciting winger Saint-Maximin’s stunning equalizer in stoppage time ensured a share of the spoils.
