Yep and a delightful surprise. For once it was a complete win, too. No "got a lead then Howe coached scared by parking the bus" vibes. Now clinging on by the skin of their teeth stuff. It was a slim win, 1-0, but a very deserved win. The two big stars combining to take all 3 points.
Must win at Forrest next weekend now.

What a tale of two halves. Complete referee ineptitude in the first leading to a goal that should never have been allowed to happen (great take by Forrest though), and a bleeding, elbowed Livramento that led to a break and yellow card the other end (with Burn now missing the next game as a result) because the ref didn't even call a foul. Just awful.
2nd half the ref tightened up and Newcastle came out and pounded Forrest into kindling. Love it!
Edit: The ref also should have dismissed Yates three times over. He elbowed Livramento and made him bleed and raked his studs down Longstaff's knees. Even at his kindest, the ref should have booked him for both. Boom, sending off. Then he had a yellow card foul on Bruno AND kicked the ball away. Should have been two yellows on one play, but he got away with one. How a player can do all of that in a game in the VAR era and not get sent off (should have been a straight red for the knee rake) is beyond me.
