Here’s the photo all Newcastle United fans absolutely loving on this Sunday night

Newcastle 2 Crystal Palace 0 –  Sunday 3 January 2026 3pm

The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really really wanted to see on Sunday night!

Eddie Howe leading his team to such an important victory.

United following up their 3-1 away victory at Burnley that brought 2025 to an end 2025, with a consecutive win to kick off 2026 in the best way possible.

Bruno Guimaraes topping off an excellent personal display with the all important opening goal with his head.

Great to see Malick Thiaw adding a third Premier League goal to his tally.

Not the easiest of matches but Newcastle United well worth the three points by the final whistle.

A winning snapshot post-match.

The all important winning photo =  The fourteenth of the 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.

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.

At least 23 more games to go this season in all competitions, so hopefully a fair few more of these photos to come.
