Newcastle United 5 Sheffield United 1 – Saturday 27 April 3pm

The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really wanted to see today.

Especially having gone a goal down after only five minutes.

Not to mention second best over the course of the first half.

Thankfully not too much damage done, as the woodwork and some rare luck surrounded NUFC, plus Alexander Isak a superb finish from his one clear chance before the break.

Once Bruno headed us into the lead though, a different story.

Without even really getting out of second gear, a burst of four goals in twenty minutes taking Newcastle United out of sight and confirming relegation for the Blades.

This manager and his players showing plenty of character, even when the team aren’t on top form.

Another winning snapshot post-match.

Another photo =  The twenty second of this season.

The Newcastle United Head Coach introduced this tradition of a post-match everybody included photo following each victory, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.

Great to see.

It is also a massive bonus just how much it winds up fans of certain other clubs and journalists.

‘Look at them, think they have won the Premier League / Champions League… etc etc’

I absolutely love it.

Four more games to go and hopefully four more photos!
