An interesting Newcastle United stat to ponder.
Especially if Eddie Howe’s side take the lead on Monday night…
West Ham up next at St James’ Park.
Finally, the end of this latest international break.
These are all of the Newcastle United matches after 2 April 2024, where NUFC have taken the lead at any point in the game:
Fulham 0 Newcastle 1 (6 April 2024)
Newcastle 4 Tottenham 0 (13 April 2024)
Newcastle 5 Sheffield United 1 (27 April 2024)
Burnley 1 Newcastle 4 (4 May 2024)
Brentford 2 Newcastle 4 (19 May 2024)
Newcastle 1 Southampton 0 (17 August 2024)
Forest 1 Newcastle 1 and NUFC won 4-3 on penalties (28 August 2024)
Newcastle 2 Tottenham 1 (1 September 2024)
Wolves 1 Newcastle 2 (15 September 2024)
Newcastle 1 AFC Wimbledon (1 October 2024)
Newcastle 2 Chelsea 0 (30 October 2024)
Newcastle 1 Arsenal 0 (2 November 2024)
Forest 1 Newcastle 3 (10 November 2024)
You might notice a recurring factor.
That’s right, all of these 13 matches where Newcastle United have taken the lead, they have also gone on to win the game.
The last time this didn’t happen?
On 2 April 2024, Alexander Isak gave Newcastle a 15th minute lead and United went on to batter Everton, just couldn’t finish them off. The visitors then fluking a draw in the 88th minute when Paul Dummett gave away that penalty.
Special reason to cheer then if/when Eddie Howe’s side take the lead on Monday night against the Hammers.
