After seeing us finally enjoy a positive experience on Tyneside, Bukayo Saka feels “we made a big statement” with a late, late show at St James’ Park.
Late goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel grabbed what could be a huge three points against Newcastle United, having trailed for most of the match, seen a penalty overturned by VAR and entering the final four minutes of normal time behind.
But two headers from our duo ensured that we turned things on its head, and after three frustrating trips to the north-east in recent seasons, Bukayo was glad to see fortune finally swing in our favour against the Black and Whites.
