Chris Sutton and Gary Lineker react to Jonjo Shelvey’s goal for Newcastle United against Sheffield United

Newcastle United secured their fifth Premier League victory of the campaign at the expense of Sheffield United at Bramall Lane last night, climbing to 11th in the table.

Allan Saint-Maximin opened his account with a header after a perfect cross from Javier Manquillo 15 minutes into the game, and Martin Dubravka was in inspired form at the other end for the visitors to keep Sheffield out, making three good saves in the first-half.

Newcastle found the back of the net with their second shot on target of the game, with Jonjo Shelvey scoring in back-to-back Premier League games for the very first time in his career.
