Fulham 1-4 Newcastle: Miguel Almiron's brace helps Magpies thrash Fulham at Craven Cottage as Nathaniel Chalobah's early red and Mitrovic injury complies home side's misery

Newcastle enjoyed their most comfortable afternoon of the season so far, as Eddie Howe's side run out 4-0 winners at Craven Cottage.

Fulham's nightmare of an afternoon began with just eight minutes on the clock when Nathaniel Chalobah was shown a straight red card following a VAR check over his tackle on Sean Longstaff.

It went from bad to worse very quickly for the home side when Callum Wilson put the Magpies ahead and from that point on Newcastle were in cruise control.

They added further goals from Miguel Almiron and Sean Longstaff before halftime, and wrapped up the three points in the second period with another strike from the Paraguayan to see them head back to the north-east with all three points.
