The photo Newcastle United fans all wanted to see on Tuesday night…
The photo you have all been wanting to see today, after Newcastle 2 Leicester 0, the snap can be seen…yet again.
Yes, that winning feeling is there once again, for the first time in 2023.
A mini win drought had seen Newcastle United go three games without a victory and a post-match winning photo.
However, a massive performance from the players tonight, absolutely dominated the opposition and totally deserve this first League Cup semi-final since 1976.
If Newcastle’s players had taken half their decent chances, this would have been a massacre.
As it is, back on the winning trail and a return to keeping clean sheets, as well as a two-legged semi to look forward to, that will do nicely.
Another photo = Another win.
This season now shows a record in all competitions of Played 23 Won 13 Drawn 8 Lost 2.
Keep them coming!
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.
Well, it doesn’t look like it is doing any harm!
Enjoy!!!
